Stormbuddy release and other side notes

If the bot is "early-access" level, there should have really been an indication of such on the product page. I'm not angry that the bot was OCR, or near impossible to win with, i'm disappointed that there was no indication of such. The purchase page is blatant deception, listing only that it supports every map, which while it does, does not support actual objectives on said maps. The disappointment stems from the lack of communication and transparency with the state of the bot, especially to newcomers, as there's no indication of how different it is from every other buddybot, or that it was originally by another dev and remained effectively unchanged.

 

I agree, to an extent.

The information on the purchase page is kinda bland;


Unlike you though, I am angry that the bot is OCR.

It even indicated that it supports objectives; "Coins, Skulls, Tributes..." what would that be, if not the objectives of maps.

 

See like my post. is it claming it can get Objectives Coins, Skulls and Tributes at its current state? Im sure it will eventuality

 

Can you give us an ETA on the injection version? Will it be 1 week, multiple weeks, or multiple months?

I think I speak for most of us here in saying that we are only interested in a bot that is more precise than OCR, and I don't want to have to refresh this forum every day to see when it has changed.

 

Hopefully moving away from OCR is their first priority, I think they're purposefully vague with their ETA's, 3-4months, I hope it won't be near that long.

 

All profiles are written for OCR, they'll have to remake the entire bot - so there still is a chance for OCR to be the way to go

 

The profiles are terrible though, so no reason to save them.

 

i had the exact same experience using it. Ran it over night had ONE win but hit the Cap

 

there is so much to do to AT LEAST win in coop mode:

- add heroes (some heroes are missing)
- better use of skills/cd ( it use skills only against heroes and doesn't use them all the times, doesn't use all skills (like heals/shield/ cooldown on 1/2/3) etc....
- better talents taking (I think it's easy to do!!)
- minimal gameplay.. (not just : 1 lane -> follow minions -> tp when low life -> restart )

I think there is some issues with keyboards depending on your country too. example : for me (FR) it never use mount, are you sure it's "Y" ?!?

I'm rank 1 since a long time ago, I can help you to improve it, to be descent in quickmatch, but how to help you ?

And of course, no OCR please :/

 

Go to the options (HotS) and change it to z - you see y but then it works.

 

Well doesn't work for mounting but I don't care, it's bad with or without it.

I really hope they are working on a real bot, because vs AI reward 0 gold when you loose, and you loose A LOT.

And gold is everything on this game. who cares XP ? XP give you some gold until level 40 but after ? Useless access to color/mount and overpriced (in GOLD) master skins.

 

If I buy the bot now, will it make the transition away from OCR any faster?

 

Might do the opposite, might make them believe the bot isn't that bad.

Buy it at your own discretion.

 

I am personally buying 20 life-time keys. I highly doubt the bot will stay in OCR or stay in its current state for more than a few months. I am happy to support the buddy team while they are developing it now that Apoc is working on it.

 

i bought 9 licencw right now but its sad that people just buy because they want support the buddy team, nobody is happy with the bot

you get 0 support via mail, just: please ask on the forum.

and no news from the buddy team

questions like if i start a session with 2 bots in a room, why does the bots just stay and get kicked cause of afk...
are never answered via mail or here... i really hope to find fast a other bot... and i dont belive they are really doing anything.. answers like in the next 3-4months loool the bot is so bad that they can release every day some small updates..its just sad.. but yeah all people just buy to support the buddy team

and its just lol how much ressouces i need with orc.. massbotting is impossible.. so buddy team please do something i dont buy more until i see some changes

 

Didnt buy to support the buddyteam, I bought it for personal use, don't delude yourselves.

 

got it

 

I'm waiting till I hear the bot is better before I purchase.

 

still no reaction of the buddy team... imo the bot is so bad, they can easy release every 1-2 days small updates just to run the bot more stable

the bot is even to bad for AI games just for training and this sucks, i dont know how they work but the reactions are poor imo
played now 1 game vs ai 2 players said they gonna report me lol solid bossland

 

give them some time, when honorbuddy launched there we no meshes and gatherbuddy contained 3 (!) profiles. look what's possible now and imagine this bot after a few weeks/months.
this is a "brand new" game we're talking about
